imo, start off with rings. I often start out with some rings like Freestylers, Dazed or Pariah’s keepsake/Ishiin’s ring if I really want to. You only need to get to power 10-15 for them, and freestyler is really useful for the early power luck ganking
helm is flimsy with me cause i don’t really go fort anymore cause will power gives more hp and the fact i’ll die regardless with high fort or not.
but boots and helm is better, pathfinder can be obtained again and unless u can speed run to lvl 30 within the day don’t recommend passing it down. even with a bank alt it’s meh as slate aristocrat gives more hp than that path.
